But education isn't what you need to be an experienced worker, you need experience. I think the parent's point is a great one, and would add to it that things are headed toward a glut of well-educated but nonetheless inexperienced people.

Fair enough. But experience can be garnered outside companies, and the Internet is making that easier, too: OSS development, nonprofit / pro bono work, etc.
Absolutely true, but "well, we've replaced entry-level jobs with working for free" is a terrible answer.
Also, would edit my original reply if I could to say that things seem to be heading this direction, not that they definitely or inevitably are.
It is only a terrible answer without basic income, which was the other point I was trying to make.
